CMPD hands out messages to remind families they do not enforce immigration laws

CHARLOTTE, N.C. - The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department is handing out messages reminding people they do not enforce immigration laws.

The department said it thinks this new operation is the best way to try and bridge the growing divide between Latinos and law enforcement.

CMPD said it got a black eye when U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement started ramping up its raids. So officers are now trying to remind Latinos they don’t have to be afraid to call 911 when they need help.
